Hasselbeck and Palin Dress Down Clothes Critics

Women blast 'sexist' attack

Share

(Newser) – Conservative View co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck hit the campaign trail with Sarah Palin yesterday to blast the media flap over the Palin family's $150,000 campaign wardrobe—purchased by the GOP—as a “deliberately sexist” diversion and blatant double standard.

Palin complained about “the whole clothes thing” becoming an issue, then proceeded to list the items from her own collection that she was wearing, including her $35 wedding ring, a pair of beaded earrings from her Yupik Eskimo mother-in-law and a pin that she wears in honor of her son’s military service.

Those clothes, they are not my property, just like the lighting and the staging and everything else that the RNC purchased. I'm not taking 'em with me. I'm back to wearing my own clothes from my favorite consignment shop.
